"How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'" - Carl Sagan

The Onion wrote:In today’s fast-paced world, it seems like just about any guy can accidentally kill his girlfriend at virtually any time. Here are some easy strategies to avoid inadvertently murdering your significant other:

Be sure to avoid firing a gun in the general direction of your girlfriend, regardless of the situation.Shy away from doing anything that may cause your girlfriend a massive amount of blood loss, such as beating her, stabbing her, or shooting her multiple times.Consider performing a task that has a low risk of accidentally murdering your girlfriend, like giving her flowers, taking her to dinner, or letting her continue living and breathing.Remain generally cognizant of the fact that three gunshots to the head and torso will, in most situations, fatally wound a person, and that this fact will, therefore, likely apply to your girlfriend as well.If there is a locked door in your home and there is even a remote possibility that the person you’re currently dating is behind that door and could be immediately killed by the bullets you fire at the door, try not to fire a gun directly at that door.In general, if there is something that you think might cause your girlfriend to stop living, don’t do that thing.

As far as I can remember, I have never attempted (and I do not want to tempt fate here) to kill any of my girlfriends. Unless you include my predilection for buying my wife balloon flights for her birthdays...dammit they're so safety conscious these days!

However most of my girlfriends have attempted to kill me by: tripping, shouting, sending me to play Sunday League football with her mates 8 foot boyfriend, persuading me to get a dog and various other methods.

The smoke wafted gently in the breeze across the poop deck and all seemed right in the world.
